Fraud is a billion-dollar business. Digital banking, remote working and Covid-19 have all acted like rocket-fuel to propel recent strong growth in fraud worldwide.
The big message is that there is hope, the overriding reality is that vigilance must be incessant.
Rapid advances are being made all the time by the fraudsters and that a portion of the vast sums of money stolen through cyber-crime are being recycled to even more ingenious technology- based crime weaponry.
There are no precise numbers available but estimates for global financial sector fraud in all its manifestations might, many believe, run into the trillions of dollars when factoring in internal fraud, external fraud and cyber-crime.
The ongoing digitisation of the customer interface with their financial service providers offers those customers greatly improved services but brings far greater risks to the providers and also to the customers. The continual surge in numbers of mobile phones around the globe - soon approaching two billion - presents a vast challenge to the financial industry.
The shocking prevalence of criminals - whether serial or opportunistic - operating within financial institutions is another frightening reality. The danger is so great because some highly trusted IT and other staff will always require 'super-user profiles' to perform their everyday duties or carry out essential maintenance on the core banking systems.
But there is hope. Advanced AI-based antifraud technologies can fight back against all these avenues of exploitation. FinTech anti-fraud solutions are improving all the time as their ability to identify and block suspicious activity in real time is becoming the trusted defence against the biggest fraud risk in banking. Big Data advances are moving so fast that there are ever more, and faster, tools to help financial institutions fight back.
Moreover, banks cannot tackle this problem alone; they must work with industry peers in a coordinated manner. They must bring in the best global expertise, those at the cutting edge of technology prevention and those who best understand the multitude of ways in which cyber criminals can penetrate organisations. The eradication - through technology and human solutions - of vast numbers of false positives every day at every financial institution is a vital step in mining out the real criminal activity.
